A man from Las Vegas, Vem Miller, was charged with possession of a loaded firearm and a high-capacity magazine after being stopped at a checkpoint at a rally by former President Donald Trump in Coachella Valley. Deputies discovered that Miller had a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine in his possession, resulting in his arrest and booking at the John J. Benoit Detention Center. Despite the incident, Trump’s safety and that of the rally attendees were not compromised. The rally took place at Calhoun Ranch with a crowd of several thousand people. No further information regarding why Miller had the weapons or his intentions at the rally has been released. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Deputy Coronado at the Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station. Paris Barraza, a trending reporter covering California news at The Desert Sun, can be contacted for further details.
